    I am the poor white, fooled and pushed apart / I am the Negro bearing slavery's scars / I am the red man driven from the land, / I am the immigrant clutching the hope I seek - / And finding only the same old stupid plan / Of dog eat dog, of mighty crush the weak
    'Let America Be America Again', Langston Hughes

    Water, water, every where, / And all the boards did shrink; / Water, water, every where / Nor any drop to drink
    'The Rime of the Ancient Mariner', Samuel Taylor Coleridge

    Do not go gentle into that good night, / Old age should burn and rave at close of day; / Rage, rage against the dying of the light

    She had blue skin,/ and so did he./ He kept it hid/ and so did she./ They looked for blue/ their whole life through./ Then passed right by--/ and never knew

    I saw the best minds of my generation destroyed by madness, starving hysterical naked, / dragging themselves through the negro streets at dawn looking for an angry fix / angelheaded hipsters burning for the ancient heavenly connection to the starry dynamo in the machinery of night
    'Howl', Allan Ginsberg

    At twenty I tried to die / And get back, back, back to you. / I thought even the bones would do./ But they pulled me out of the sack, / And they stuck me together with glue
    'Daddy', Sylvia Plath

    you are much more than simply dead/ I am a dish for your ashes / I am a fist for your vanished air / the most terrible thing about life/ is finding it gone
    'The Unblinking Grief', Charles Bukowski

    You may write me down in history / With your bitter, twisted lies, / You may trod me in the very dirt / But still, like dust, I’ll rise
    'Still I Rise', Maya Angelou

    Tree you are, / Moss you are, / You are violets with wind above them. / A child - so high - you are, / And all this is folly to the world
    'A Girl', Ezra Pound

    Love is not love Which alters when it alteration finds, / Or bends with the remover to remove: / O no; it is an ever-fixed mark, / That looks on tempests, and is never shake
    'Sonnet 116', William Shakespeare

    How happy is the blameless vestal's lot! / The world forgetting, by the world forgot. / Eternal sunshine of the spotless mind! / Each pray'r accepted, and each wish resign'd

    I bequeath myself to the dirt to grow from the grass I love / If you want me again look for me under your boot-soles

    Down, down, down into the darkness of the grave / Gently they go, the beautiful, the tender, the kind; / Quietly they go, the intelligent, the witty, the brave. / I know. But I do not approve. And I am not resigned
    'Dirge Without Music', Edna St. Vincent Millay

    The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere / The ceremony of innocence is drowned; / The best lack all conviction, while the worst / Are full of passionate intensity '
    The Second Coming', William Butler Yeats

    The caged bird sings with a fearful trill/ Of things unknown but longed for still/ And his tune is heard on the distant hill/ For the caged bird sings of freedom
    'I Know Why The Caged Bird Sings', Maya Angelou

    The weight of the world / is love / Under the burden / of solitude, / under the burden / of dissatisfaction / the weight, / the weight we carry / is love
    'Song', Allen Ginsberg
